Ok Texas Hold'em Fans, What Would You Like Added?...UPDATE: COME PLAY WITH US! BETA VERSION AVAILABLE

My group is almost done writing the code for our texas hold 'em game. It works without too many bugs, though with network play there is always something going on.

Anyway, we are open to suggestions to make the game better for the user. We have already added basic things like your name changes color when it's your turn to bet, the current bet amount each person has placed in front of their name, etc. (things you'd probably normally see with an online game).

It's going to be turned in fairly soon, so let us know if you have any suggestions.


Update:
This is not a final version but feel free to join. I imagine the server will crash after a while but might as well try

Just run the exe after unzipping

I think he means like on Pokerstars, where you can write notes on a tab for every player (ie: fish, shark, calling machine, etc.)...

Do you need beta testers on this? I'd test it for you if you're looking...

I see...we would have to reasert the player profiles in that case as, for now, they are not stored correctly on the server

We have a almost perfectly running version now, I will throw a link out to a few people who are interested in the next day or two

 
I assume this is for fun and not for money? If it is I would love to see a percentage come up about my hand. Like what percentage of a chance I have of making a straight or a flush or a set. Then it would change with each card turned over. It would be a great practice/learning tool.

this was one of my ideas, but it is harder to implement than you think (assuming we actually calculate it as opposed to using lookup tables). For example, if you were on a straight and flush draw, should you pick which percentage you should see? Are you supposed to pick which percentage? Should a list of all percentages for all possible outcomes be listed? (5% four of a kind, 0% straight flush, 10% straight, etc.)

I would think all possible outcomes. This would also help someone realize how bad or good a starting hand really is. A 2, 7 off suit is the worst hand and would become apparent with low percentages of making anything.

 
The most useful thing of course is an optional beep when it is your turn. Online poker can get very boring when playing more than 3 people. That is since people take forever to bet or lose their connection. So with 8 players it could be ~8 minutes between times you must act. Thus a beep is wonderful so that you can do other things while waiting. Many online places do the beep. But what I want is even more than just a beep. I like to play 2-3 tables at once to keep the action going. I'd like a different pitch beep for each table (either you can select the pitch or where the game knows how many windows you have open and does it automatically). Maybe I'm just dreaming though.

The more options the better for me. Give people the chance to play many different versions of the same game. Limit or no limit? Low limit or high limit or increasing limit? Maybe table host chooses the limit rules. Option to set a time limit for a bet. Option to change antes and/or optional blinds. Option to set a time limit to kick off a player that has a faulty connection. Etc. The more the better.

I love numbers. How about individual statistics. What pecent of hands played, percent won, etc. Of course, give us the chance to reset the numbers if we want to try a different strategy.
 
custom avatars are a must

any statistics that you could include would be a big draw over other play money sites

during our class project presentation, someone asked me the same thing about avatars. I told him, "If we let you guys pick avatars, you would just put pictures of your genitalia on there and we don't want to see that." Even the teacher laughed

But yes, the stats is something to consider

You could implement it for the all-in situation. Flip over the cards and display a % next to each hand representing the % chance of that hand winning. Also, it would be helpful to slow down the cards during an all-in situation. Some sites have a tendency to deal the rest of the cards so quickly, it can be frustrating figure out everybody?s hand, especially if there are more than 2 all-in.
